So?
And?
"Despite her past losses, ABRAMS HAS INDICATED that she's open to RUNNING
AGAIN IN 2026."
WHO said you can't profit from fraud in the future?

For DEMOCRATS, you fucking moron.
She backed letting in all the south of the border lawn-mowers and motel
maids, NOT because SHE wanted to get re-elected, but to get her fellow BLM-
loving, Drag Queen-loving, Gay-loving, Socialist-loving, Antifa Fascist-
loving, Marxist-loving, Communist-loving, Racist-loving, Insurrectionist-
loving, Pedophiles-loving, Far-Left-Wing-Progressive Democrats, elected.
We can drop this one.
PLONK!
So let's take up THIS one.
Where's there's smoke, there's fire. If she's willing, able and ready to do
the following, she DAMN sho could have been in on vote buying in the
appliance fraud fiasco.

Stacey Abrams" Nonprofit Hit With Largest Fine In State History For Illegally
Using Funds To Support Her 2018 Bid For Governor
A voter registration nonprofit founded by former Georgia state Rep. Stacey
Abrams secretly boosted her 2018 gubernatorial bid in violation of campaign
finance law and was slapped with a $300,000 fine Wednesday.
The New Georgia Project and its action fund fessed up spending $3.2 million
to foot the bill for canvassers and fliers supporting Abrams,51, and others
without disclosing those contributions. It agreed to pay the fine from
Georgia's ethics commission.
"We are glad to finally put this matter behind us so the New Georgia Project
can fully devote its time and attention to its efforts to civically engage
and register black, brown, and young voters in Georgia, " Aria Branch,
counsel to the nonprofit, told The Post in a statement.
"We accept this outcome and are eager to turn the page on activities that
took place more than five years ago."
New Georgia Project also neglected to register as an independent campaign
committee in a breach of state law. In total, there were at least 16
instances of infractions, the ethics panel concluded.
In 2019, a year after the governor's race, both groups also failed to divulge
$646,000 worth of donations as well as $174,000 worth of spending to back a
failed referendum for Gwinnett County to join the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid
Transit Authority.
The ethics fine slapped against the two groups is the largest of its kind in
the ethics commission's 38-year history, according to executive director
David Emadi. It concludes a six-year battle between the ethics commission and
the nonprofits.
Abrams became a progressive darling for her strong showing against Georgia
Gov. Brian Kemp (R), losing by about 1.4 percentage points in that year's
"blue wave."
She also refused to concede her loss was legitimate and dubiously alleged
voter suppression was at play.
She later had a rematch against Kemp in 2022 but was defeated by an even
larger margin of about 7.5 percentage points.
Abrams founded the New Georgia Project in 2013 as part of an effort to get
minority groups registered to vote and energized.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) helmed the group at the time of the violations.
He was elected to the upper chamber in 2021.
A Warnock spokesperson stressed that he was a board chair at the time and did
not deal with compliance decisions.
"In this role, Reverend Warnock continued his work as a longtime champion for
voting rights. Compliance decisions were not a part of that work, " Warnock
spokesperson Michael Brewer told The Post.
Prior to the decision Wednesday, the New Georgia Project argued that it
engaged in behavior similar to other nonprofits and accused the commission of
targeting it for political reasons. The panel is comprised of one Democrat
and four Republicans.
Georgia's ethics commission previously fined advocacy group Gente for Abrams
$50,000 in 2020 for similarly neglecting to properly file on its spending to
back her during the 2018 race.
The Post has contacted an Abrams spokesperson for comment.
Despite her past losses, Abrams has indicated that she's open to running
again in 2026.
